How to be stress free?

Question

I recently found out that stress causes me to be hospitalised. The hospital has told me if I want to avoid it in the future I need to lead a stress free life. I honestly have no idea how, my life has been extremely stressful since I was 7yo. I have a lot on my plate atm fighting for money back stolen from me, fighting with cps so my family can be ok, fighting with family because they don't understand, dealing with mental and physical disabilities, etc. Can anyone give me advice on how to have a lowered stress life? I don't feel overly stressed before I'm hospitalised compared to when I'm having a very bad stressful day.

Answer

You're never going to live a stress free life. That's not a thing. You can't make stress go away entirely,  you have to learn to manage your stress levels despite what is happening. This is a normal part of growing up but some people struggle more than others to learn this. Probably time to start talking to a professional.

Answer

• Declutter your home and keep thing relatively tidy. Mess can create a lot of stress in some people. 
• Make sure you are getting plenty of exercise. Going for daily walks and keeping your body active goes a REALLY long way towards improved mental health. 
• Write a list of all of the things in your life that are causing you stress in one column and then in the next column write how you plan on reducing or eliminating that stress. Work on one thing at a time. 
• Try meditate for at least 10 minutes every single day. There are free apps you can download and YouTube videos you can watch to help you learn how to meditate. 
• Try to focus on the positive things in your life and be grateful for what you have. 
I hope some of this helps.

Answer

Therapy and meditation!

Answer

Managing stress is a skill set.  Ask your hospital if they have support classes.  An anger management class would have similar techniques to teach.  Also look into yoga, tai chi, meditation and prayer.
